Mobile search and the Buckeyes

The Wall Street Journal talks about the rapidly-evolving business of mobile search, an area of immense interest to Seattle area companies such as InfoSpace and Medio Systems.

The story, which primarily discusses the mobile plans of Google, AOL and Yahoo!, also features comments from John Ludwig of Ignition Partners who admits to checking sports scores on ESPN from his BlackBerry as many as 40 times during a game.

There’s only one reason for this behavior. Ludwig — like me – is a die-hard fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes. For Ludwig’s musings on the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry and other Buckeye related topics, check out his blog here.

Back on the topic of mobile search, here is my story from October on Medio Systems and here is the press release from Cambridge, Mass.-based JumpTap — a mobile search startup that just landed $21 million in funding.
